Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbsp. coarse sea salt, or more to taste
  • 3 lbs. unpeeled red potatoes, washed and scrubbed Footnote
  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. chive butter see Recipe
  • 1 large head of garlic, roasted and mashed tips & tricks
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. garlic salt, or to taste optional

Directions

  • In a large pot, add some coarse sea salt then potatoes. Pour in cold water to about 2 inches above.
  • Cover and bring to a boil. When it gets there, remove the lid and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender, about 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes well and mash them. Add both butters and mash again.
  • Add roasted garlic and freshly ground black pepper; mash once again.
  • Add sour cream and milk; stir to blend; taste and adjust if necessary. Add garlic salt if wanted and stir well before serving.

Notes

Footnote: Depending on the size, you might want to cut them in half.
